Nagorno-Karabakh Issue

The yesterday statement by Araz Azimov, Representative of the
Azerbaijani President for the Nagorno-Karabakh Issue, that Armenia is
giving up its positions on Karabakh conflict settlement, was again
commented by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Yuri Merzliakov. Those
terms, from which Armenia is allegedly standing back, have never been
considered on a level, which would admit coming to such a conclusion,
he said. Regnum News Agency reports that marking the Paris meeting with
Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanian as positive, Merzliakov
explained the absence of the Azeri Foreign Minister in Paris by the
latter’s obligation to be present in Baku.
